Mystic White

Next to Pure Vision (clone of LV Imagination) Mystic White is one of the best value propositions from Caline. This time it is a clone of Xerjoff Naxos, the notes are exactly the same, save for tobacco versus tobacco leaf. Other difference is in the intensity and how long it last. You are getting 99% same for less than 10% cost. No-brainer even if you have the real deal, use this to prolong your bottle.

Far drydown reminds me of A*men's signature sweet drydown. It's long lasting with a mid to strong sillage. A very good hidden gem you can get for cheap.

The German Discounter Version of Naxos! it is a sweet, masculine winter fragrance with a warm tobacco-honey vibe, following the dna of naxos, it smells pleasant, cozy, and surprisingly good for the price. Performance isn't good unfortunately, with poor longevity and projection (like all caline EDTs) — but for around 5 euros, that’s expected and the scent is at least very nice and not overly synthetic like most cheapies at this price. Overall, a nice budget winter scent for men if you don’t mind reapplying 6/10

I bought this fragrance because it is said to be very similar to Naxos by Xerjoff. However, I can’t really confirm that, as I don’t know the original myself. Regardless, the scent itself is very pleasant – it reminds me of a warm summer evening when going out: mysterious, sexy, and masculine. However, you can notice the rather average quality. At the beginning, the projection is quite strong, but it drops off significantly within the first hour. After about two hours, it is barely noticeable anymore, at most lingering on clothing. Overall, a nice fragrance, but next time I would rather spend a bit more and go for a higher-quality clone.

Nice Naxos clone, not worse than pricier ones. Has to be one of the best value for money options out there and shows how big the margin is with fragrance production costs. Funny how people attribute „weak performance“, which i cannot confirm, to the cheap price and „average quality“ when there are plenty of 100-400€ perfumes with weak performance out there.

First impression: intoxicating boozy vanilla with honey and winter spices. A little bit hazelnut. It almost feels edible, like some sort of Nutella variant. It does not feel airy or transparant. I like it, but this is for cold weather only. PS I don't have Naxos as a reference. When I do, I'll update this review.
